Her Post- Bitten by the bug

When you believe that times can t go harder than that, another rock hits you right in middle of your…belly ( in my case). Maybe you think that my lack of writing was a short, relaxing and happy break. In fact, I spend more than 4 days laying in bed. When I wasn t sleeping, I was crouching on the toilet.

No more details, don t worry! I have for you just two words: Stomach bug! Even writing it feels painful. No appetite, major lack of energy, excruciating stomach pain, fever and another symptom that it s kind of disgusting to touch the subject. Let s just say I m as empty on the inside as a can of Diet Coke after being in the hands of an anorexic model.

                                                                   I really don t think " he' was that cute!

Once again, my husband was the one who lighted my path all along. He didn t hesitate to rushed in the middle of the night to the drug store and even went along to do groceries, went to church and made me something to eat. That ugly bug whipped me up, but today I m 90% recover and my hunger is back!

Enough with bitter memories. Between stomach bug episode and getting better I managed to read a bit from a new blog. It s called www.household6diva.com and I was fascinated when I discovered it.

Never once I thought that being an army wife it s that complicated. She s very good a being a mommy and a wife, jobs very hard on itselfs. But the status of army wife brings things on a hole new level. I would be in tears all the time, my house would be on fire and my kids would grow in trees if I had to live that live.


                                  A small flower to show appreciation for you and the millions of wifes like you.

I m really not that strong. All I hope for is that those man REALLY appreciate their wives cause, at this point, I have no clue what job it s more demanding and burdensome: being a soldier or being his wife?



What is your opinion? Could you be that women? Could you be that dedicated to your love?

Her Post- Can I have some cheese with this whine?

I m sick. That s it. That s all I have to say to you. Now, put that basket of goodies on my night table and let me sleep ( like I have been doing in the last 24 hours) ! Don t take me serious..I m just rambling due to fever.



                                                     Thank God I have someone to hold my hand !

Maybe my luck went of the window or maybe I have a course on me, but I can swear the past 2 days were pure hell. I could barely stand on my feet and went to school only for a couple of hours. I had no appetite and no strength for even a light workout. Going to the bathroom and back to bed feel like an supernatural effort. Today however, my body started to recover a little bit.

A few things work very well when I catch a cold and I want to share them.


1. Brush your teeth . It may not seem a lot, but trust me on this one. Millions of germs are hanging out in your throat and mouth so by cleaning your teeth they ll fall over their backs like a set of ninepins. Further more, I recently found that this easy peasy habit can cut heart disease risk. Who ever said that simple things make major changes was certainly right!



                                                       A fresh breath and a strog heart!

2. Stick to the yellow-green zone. Yogurt and cream cheese is all I have been eating these days. BUT greens and lemons are really my friends when I m feeling like a squash tomato. I had some peas and salad and I have been drinking lemonade as if we re running out of water.

3. Vinegar. Your pantry is a hidden drug store . The smell can cut my nose in half,but I m willing to suck it up and soak myself in vinegar if that will lose up my fever. Cosmin gave me a hard massage with vinegar and then fold me in blankets, to keep warm. I sat there like a mexican wrap for more than an hour and felt ten time better after. My husband loves me, but he I think he had no trouble rubbing my back, pulling and pushing my skin, giving me little back punches as he massage me!


      I sure know he loves me


The list is longer than that but I can t type anymore. Next time when you ll nave runny nose, a headache and you ll feel like a mushy porridge, please make sure to upgrade it!



What works best when you catch a cold? Do you prefer drugs or home made remedies will do the trick?

Weekend Recap: wish come true, paper work and flowers

Hello, happy bloggers and readers! I was a little absent cause of a very busy weekend, but I hope you ll understand me. Good news although…I WENT TO THE CIRCUS SHOWRemember?

Saturday was the best day ever.After the press conference with the manager and members of circus “ Mother Africa”, I got to use for the first time my id press and been invited to the event for FREE! Unfortunately, my hubby had to stay home, and he made sure that I would be properly feed. He made a late quick post dinner snack for me.
                                                            
                                         After seeing those guys I wanted to move to Africa! So friendly people!


            That s how I looked at midnight, after a crazy day. "The magic dissappeared and princess Andreea became a ogre!" 


How was the show? Enough to say that I run out of battery on my handy cam. Ever since, I m in a very bright state of mind and the good things keep on coming towards us. Yesterday, I woke up very early, prepare lunch for my hubby and wrote some articles. Then, I panicked after checking the clock. I did a short mix workout, a combo between cardio and weights and really push so I still have time for post workout snack and to dress myself. I had a presentation to do at school and it went smooth like the rest of the day.



                                            Some yogurt/chesse/apple/cinnamon combo and H2O. And...Roumanian dead-lifts.


                                                                        I polished all in no time ! Hungry girl..

I must have been burned out. Once I returned home, I collapsed in a well deserved nap and woke up today with a sore throat and a little weak. I will listen to my body and rest at least for the first part of the day.




                                                   After a night of sleep, Andreea returned to her normal face

Cosmin made my day today. Again. It s the first of March and we, Romanians, celebrate the first day of spring by changing small symbolic gifts like ribbons made of white and red thin cords. I ll snap a photo later in the day. In addition, he gave me a small bouquet of hyacinth. The flowers we in a glass, in the kitchen and ribbon was prop up the glass. The man arranged all this there a night before, after I went to sleep. Now, the entire house smells like Spring!

Happy spring to you and remember,

DON T TAKE FOR GRANTED THE SMALL GOOD THINGS IN YOUR LIVE. BE GRATEFULL, BE AWARE!

His Post-SuperWoman

Doesn't everybody wonders : "Do super heroes really exist ? Could SuperMan ever be real? And if he ever did, who could be his wife?”.


Well I don’t have the answers for those questions, but I know one thing that Super Women does exist, and I am the proud chosen one of her. No matter how many pages I write about her still won’t ever be enough, but here are just a few reasons for why a think that she is just super.


- No matter how tired she is or how little sleep she might have, she always wakes up before me and prepares me dinner.

- She is the best cook love can buy, and by far and no doubt the most ingenious one.

- What’s the name of my best (and true) friend (it’s hard to get one)? You guess it Andreea.

- The best Romanian (and English) language teacher (and the roughest), for sure.

- And who doesn’t want the sexiest nurse at his head just when you feel like dying? (even if you are not). To take care of you after being foolish enough and come home through the rain, just like a wet rat!

- She is a great football player, and she always kicks my ass! Well I am just kidding one this one, but it’s really funny and relaxing to to play sort of football in the park with her.

- When I was young (and restless :) ) I was wondering if how my future wife ( I didn’t know her back then) will get along with my mother. Well … she got it covered, in fact she is more like a daughter of my mom.

- Who has the best looking babe from this part of the Universe? I’m pretty sure that I am the lucky winner.

- Spontaneous and funny ? She has it all. When we go for a walk this second she is next to mine the next one you can see fooling around the water almost falling in to it.

- What do you think that ties all of this together and ads some spices in our lives ? Well just a tiny hero argue. Super Women’s do that sometimes.

- The most famous personal trainer of them all, my wife.

- All the kitties and dogs from this Earth have no fear of extinction because your savior has arrived. Yep, she loves them all and she always buys pretzels and shares with them. Even do they are not always eating :)

- Before I met her, I was always bragging how well I can clean the house and I was considering myself the best. Well now I am second Best :).






- Oh her eyes, her eyes
  Make the stars look like they're not shining
  Her hair, her hair
  Falls perfectly without her trying

- And last but not least I just want her to know that if would stop loving me just for only one second I would ceass to exist.
